Timeline

1943

Seif Sharif Hamad (22 October 1943 – 17 February 2021) was a Tanzanian politician who served as the First Vice President of Zanzibar and as Party Chairman of ACT Wazalendo.

1950

1950–1957: Hamad attended Primary School at Uondwe and Wete Boys School, in Pemba.

1958

He started his secondary education from 1958–1961, at King George VI Memorial Secondary School, in Zanzibar Town, Zanzibar.

1962

Hamad goes on to attend High school education at the same school from 1962–1963.

1963

After completing high school in December 1963, for the next nine years (1964–1972), he was prevented from pursuing University Education because he was required to fill in one of the vacancies in the civil service caused by the mass departure of British officials in 1964, after being asked to do so by the new Zanzibar Revolutionary Government.

1972

He was posted to teach in Secondary Schools, before joining University of Dar es Salaam in 1972–1975, and graduated with B.A. (Honors) in Political Science, Public Administration and International Relations.

On 31 January 2021, it was announced that he had contracted COVID-19 and was in hospital in Zanzibar.

1984

Hamad served as a Member of the Zanzibar Revolutionary Council and Zanzibar Minister of Education (1977–1980), founding member of the Zanzibar House of Representatives (1980–1989) and Member of Tanzanian Parliament (1977), Member of the Central Committee and National Executive Committee of Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) - Tanzania's Ruling Party (1977–1987), Head of the Economic and Planning Department of the CCM (1982–1987) and Chief Minister of Zanzibar from 6 February 1984 to 22 January 1988.

Soon after his dismissal, he was expelled from the sole legal party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), after disputes with party officials.

1988

In January 1988, he was unceremoniously dropped from the Revolutionary Council and removed as the Chief Minister of Zanzibar and in May 1988 he was expelled from the ruling CCM with six colleagues and automatically lost his parliamentary seat in the Zanzibar House of Representatives.

1989

In May 1989, he was arrested and taken to court to face (politically motivated) trumped up charges of allegedly being found with government secret documents.

From 1989–1991 he was remanded in the Zanzibar Central Prison.

1991

From May 1989 - November, 1991 he was imprisoned as a prisoner of conscience.

1992

When Tanzania adopted a multiparty political system in 1992, Hamad along with other former CCM members founded the Civic United Front party.

1995

The first multiparty elections took place in 1995 and Hamad was the CUF's candidate for the Presidency of Zanzibar.

He was narrowly defeated by CCM candidate Salmin Amour, winning 49.76% of the vote to Amour's 50.24%.

Observers noted serious irregularities in the poll and the CUF rejected the result as rigged.

2000

Hamad was again defeated in the 2000 elections by CCM candidate Amani Abeid Karume.

He received 32.96% of the vote to Karume's 67.04%.

Observers condemned the poll citing widespread irregularities and instances of intimidation of opposition supporters by the security forces.

The Commonwealth of Nations team described the election as a 'shambles'.

In April 2000, he was arrested and charged with trumped up charges of allegedly attacking members of the police and robbing them with a gun (the charges were finally dropped by the Zanzibar Magistrate’s Court in November 2003).

Hamad was hospitalised on 29 January 2021, after his party said he, his wife, and aides had tested positive for COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tanzania.

2001

On 26 and 27 January 2001, more than forty five CUF supporters were gunned down by Tanzanian Security Forces in peaceful demonstration called to protest the imposition of Zanzibar Government against the will of the people.

This led to the ruling CCM party and opposition CUF to have a dialogue that resulted in signing MUAFAKA II, a peace accord designed to ensure electoral and constitutional reforms.

2005

Most of the planned reforms were not implemented by the government, including, crucially, an agreed credible voters' register prior to the elections of October 2005.

In the 30 October 2005 election, according to official results, Hamad was again defeated by Amani Abeid Karume, winning 46.07% of the vote to Karume's 53.18%.

CUF disputed the election and refused to recognise Karume as President.

The union elections in December 2005 followed a similar pattern on Zanzibar with CUF carrying Pemba but not Unguja.

2010

On 31 October 2010, Tanzanians voted to elect President of Tanzania and Zanzibar and Hamad ran for election, alongside Dr Ali Mohamed Shein of the ruling party CCM who was declared the winner on Monday, 1 November 2010, scooping 179,809 votes against 175,338 votes of Hamad.

Dr Shein's victory is equal to 50.1 per cent of all the 364,924 votes cast while Hamad garnered 49.1 per cent.

2015

In October 2015 Hamad won the election by 25,000 votes against Incumbent Ali Mohamed Shein but the election commission canceled the election results.

Hamad became the first ever Vice President of Zanzibar when Dr. Shein was sworn in as president of Zanzibar.

2016

In March 2016, Hamad refused to participate in the rerun of the election which brought Dr Shein to power again illegally.

2019

He was the secretary-general of the opposition Civic United Front (CUF) party and First Vice President of Zanzibar until 18 March 2019 when he announced his resignation from CUF and joined Alliance for Change and Transparency.

On 18 March 2019 Hamad resigned from CUF and joined another political Party ACT Wazalendo.

2020

He was given an ACT Wazalendo card number One, and he also won the party nomination for the 2020 presidential candidate for Zanzibar.

On 8 December 2020, Maalim Seif was sworn in as the First Vice President of Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar for a five year term.

Tanzania's government had not reported any official cases since April 2020, despite reports of deaths being attributed to "acute pneumonia."

Hamad died at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam on 17 February 2021.
